There were still problems left after the previous commit. On at
least one system (QNX i386), the following regression test crashed:
src/cmd/ksh93/test/subshell.c
900 got=$( { "$SHELL" -c '(cd /; (cd /)); print -r -- "PWD=$PWD"'; } 2>&1 )
A backtrace done on the core dunp pointed to the free() call here:
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/cd_pwd.c
90 if(oldpwd && oldpwd!=shp->pwd && oldpwd!=e_dot)
91 free(oldpwd);
Analysis: The interaction between $PWD, sh.pwd aka shp->pwd, and
the path_pwd() function is a mess. path_pwd() usually returns a
freeable value, but not always. sh.pwd is sometimes a pointer to
the value of $PWD, but not always (e.g. when you unset PWD or
assign to it). Instead of debugging the exact cause of the crash, I
think it is better to make this work in a more consistent way.
As of this commit:
1. sh.pwd keeps its own copy of the PWD, independently of the PWD
variable. The old value must always be freed immediately before
assigning a new one. This is simple and consistent, reducing the
chance of bugs at negligible cost.
2. The PWD variable is no longer given the NV_NOFREE attribute
because its value no longer points to sh.pwd. It is now a
variable like any other.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/path.c: path_pwd():
- Do not give PWDNOD the NV_NOFREE attribute.
- Give sh.pwd its own copy of the PWD by strdup'ing PWDNOD's value.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/cd_pwd.c: b_cd():
- Since sh.pwd is now consistently freed before giving it a new
value and at no other time, oldpwd must not be freed any longer
and can become a regular non-static variable.
- If the PWD needs reinitialising, call path_pwd() to do it.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/subshell.c: sh_subshell():
- Systems with fchdir(2): Always restore the PWD upon exiting a
non-subshare subshell. The check to decide whether or not to
restore it was unsafe: it was not restored if the current PWD
pointer and value was identical to the saved one, but a directory
can be deleted and recreated under the same name.
- Systems without fchdir(2) (if any exist):
. Entry: Fork if the PWD is nonexistent or has no x permission.
. Restore: Only chdir back if the subshell PWD was changed.
That's probably the best we can do. It remains inherently unsafe.
We should probably just require fchdir(2) at some point.
